But with the Scozzafava endorsement, one has to ask if they will even take a stand for NE RINOism...
He is from VA. From what I read, McDonnel doesn't turn left; yet, he might win the race next month. Meanwhile, the model for 'moderate', McCain, failed miserably last year, and Crist, another model for 'moderate', might lose the primary next year. The latest polls show that both Rubio and Crist do well in the general. So, why do we need to turn left?
“Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh — figures who are wildly popular with the conservative base but wildly controversial among other parts of the electorate”
...telling the truth has now become “wildly controversial”.
Has anyone ever seen an article written about the radical left and it’s death grip on the democrat party?
Didn’t think so.
The GOP has taken a side-step to the left. We Conservatives firmly stood our ground, where we will remain. That’s why they call us “Conservatives”. We’re stubborn as hell.
But I noticed this morning that Politico failed to even mention Cheney’s commentary about this politicizing of the war in Afghanistan.
Politico chooses their articles carefully, very carefully.
Graham, Brooks, Snowe and those of the same ilk are the reason the republicans got their socks beat off in the last two elections. For CRYING OUT LOUD (I'M YELLING NOW!), IF I WANTED A !@#$%^&*()p_+_)(*&^%$#$%^&*( LIBERAL I'D VOTE FOR A RAT. THESE RINOS ARE JUST DEMOCRAT LITE.
I wish they'd just cross the dang aisle and STAY THERE.
Mr. McCain's attitude toward the conservative was ‘just what
are you going to do about it’... well, now the answer has
come for Mr. McCain and the RNC.
So what the GOP needs is more Ken Mehlmans, Denny Hasterts, Mark Foleys, and John McCains.
Got it.
These people have no clue.
Politico just told the GOP to make the conservatives shut up and go away.
If the GOP doesn’t want our votes and money and volunteers let them say so. Just come right out and say it. We can completely take over the Libertarian Party within months.
"Once nominally in power, the Republicans spent & taxed & regulated like a bunch of Democrats- is it any wonder that the voters decided to elect The Real Thing?"
We aren't going to compete with the Evil Party by being ( "We can get you the goodies at a cheaper price" ) Democrat Lite.
That's my 2 cents, anyway...
Fixed it.
Said Bob Michel -- who never held the Speaker's gavel in his long, long House career.
But Newt got it away from them. How'd he do that, Bob?
I told the last GOP caller who wanted money that I was fed up with them supporting RINOS and that from now on, I’d give to individual conservative candidates that I favored. I told them, “In short, don’t call me, I’ll call you.”
Another example of wishful trash written by Washington Post rejects. It’s a cheeerleading piece designed to calm the knuckleheads in king obuma’s clown court who are losing the PR war and democrat seats. I approve of this propaganda because it envelopes rats in their comfortable cloud of liberal delusion, making way for major strategic mistakes. It reminds of Hitler’s last days as he sat like a rotting mushroom in the bunker moving imaginary divisions around the battlefield map.
This is exactly why they are failing as a party. This is exactly why a talk of a third party is circulating. Folks, through their own admission they intend to play us like a fiddle in 2010.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll this week found that only 20 percent of those surveyed consider themselves Republicans.
(How many of those who no longer consider themselves Republicans because the party left them? Look around they are not turning into democrats, instead these are the people you say you have to placate!)
Republicans in Congress are even more unpopular than the very unpopular Democrats who are running the House and the Senate. This suggests something has to change for a true GOP resurgence to take place.
(Uh...yeah. But they continue to fail to understand the reason for their unpopularity. You can't be middle of the road and hold onto conservative party principles.)
Dede Scozzafava, despite her liberal views
What part of no to any form of liberalism do you not understand? We destroyed the Republican party because we refused to go along to get along with our new founded socialism?
Maybe the Republicans should take a look at a winner, a conservative, someone to get excited about. Sarah Palin!!
Rino fools
They Just dont get it ,what the Hell PRINCIPLES does the MIDDLE have? We are NOt ACTIVISTS we are just Americans who believe in Traditional American Values,Faith Family and country. We Go to work ,pay our taxes follow the Rules and watch Sleaze bag Politicians who Fatten their own wallets at our expense,look the other way when millions of people break the law by coming across the Borderand we are told to shut up and accept it because we are a Country of Immigrants ! I never heard my relatives tell me they snuck across the Border, they did tell me though they were terrified when they landed at Ellis island that if they sneezed they would be Quaranteened.
Health care is a Big issue now and I suppose The Middle would agree that the Pompous Aholes in washington should get big fat salaries and lifetime Health Benefits while the rest of us peasants get what the elite politicians you know our Government SERVANTS,see fit to Bestow upon us .
My Freedom is not for sale to any Moderate and I am sure that if we had an Individual who had the Courage to stand on COMMON sense issues AMERICAN traditional Value issues this Party would explode with people ,you do not have to sell out your ideals to grow, you have to have the Courage to stand up for them
Many activists believe the party lost because McCain failed to present a clear and genuine ideological contrast
^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^
Oh, so many “quotes”... so little bandwidth.
The liberal elite snobs already have a party.. why would they vote R?
If the R’s go down in flames again, so be it. I will NEVER EVER again vote for a RINO. Most polls show the majority of Americans are CONSERVATIVE. Except that “we’re all Socialists now,” aren’t we.
Pawlenty = what a joke. Romney = ROMNEY CARE, HELLLLOOOOWW!
It's not just conservatives who are mad at Obama & the Dems but those so-called moderates and independents are mad too.
If the Republicans think by continuing playing nice to the Dems and being me-too Dems are going to win them seats they're smoking crack.
Why aren’t lefties ever considered to be “cranky and extreme”?
At any rate, when the party powers are running people like scuzzyfuzzy, it’s insane to expect the base to toe the line.
I received a pub party congressional survey today that of course included a solicitation. When the survey got to that part at the end, you check a box indicating the amount you will donate ($500, $250, $100, $50, etc.) or “Other”. I checked “Other” and stated I would donate some advice. The advice was to start running candidates who are vertebrates instead of RINOs if they want any money from me.
